There is but one perl, but there are but many platforms.  Unfortunately,
this disparity problem will probably never be completely resolved.  Can we
not have a generic sdk for perl, and, in addition, an sdk for each
platform that has additionsal useful modules?

Thus, the perl-sdk would be generic, across all platforms.  The
perl-sdk-win32 would augment the perl-sdk with win32 extensions, the
perl-sdk-solaris would augment the perl-sdk with solaris extensions, etc.
Is this a possible option?  I understand that involves some work on our
parts, but it could be useful to the administrator.
